Updates
For all the Melbourne people out there I am happy to report I have joined Gallerysmith in North Melbourne. A solo show is planned with them in 2018 so stay tuned! But for now all the hard work of 2017 comes into focus as the Manly Art Gallery & Museum exhibition opens. A huge thank you must go out to Chapman & Bailey for yet another great job and their amazing bespoke tables that will grace the installation at Manly. Also a huge shout out to Arten Framing for their expert help and production of the digital artworks for the show. And who could forget Neville French. The best ceramicist in the world perhaps – certainly the most patient! It is all the ‘behind the scenes’ work that will make this show hopefully very memorable for all who visit. Please come along. I am super excited about it!
